“It’s the telling of a story predominantly visually, with clever lighting effects, with the highest rate of steps, gestures, looks attainable that say more than a thousand words.”

“Tanguera presents high-adrenaline choreography with its racy turns, its precise leg movements enhanced by lifts, jumps and kneeling turns.”

The Show

TANGUERA is not an ordinary tango show because Tanguera is more than just a dance. And still – Tanguera is essentially one thing only: tango. In Buenos Aires, its birthplace, Tanguera was celebrated with euphoric enthusiasm and experienced a record runtime here of 18 months after its premiere in 2002.

Tanguera is a group of 30 male and female dance virtuosos, prize-winning choreography that burns with passion by renowned tango star Mora Godoy and something no tango performance has dared to do: tell a story. With precise looks and gestures, with songs and with the all-consuming dance, Tanguera, the first tango musical ever, brings an authentic story of Buenos Aires at the turn of the century to life. The fate of many women told in the story of one woman, as simple and inescapable as desire and pain that meld to melancholy and passion in tango.

The Story

At the beginning of the 20th century, the young immigrant Giselle lands in La Boca, the infamous harbour district of Buenos Aires. Hundreds and thousands of immigrants eke out an existence there. Here the underworld is law and love is a service for sale. While closely entwined couples glide over hidden backyard cobbles and the planks of forbidden unsavoury bars for the amusement of the Bandoneons, Giselle, a celebrated tango dancer, experiences the dubious success in the glittering world of the cabaret. Seduced by the criminal Gaudencio and loved by the courageous harbour worker Lorenzo, she finally becomes the reason for a deadly knife fight between these two rivals.

Tanguera, the groundbreaking tango musical from Buenos Aires, has already been wildly celebrated in international centres such as Madrid, Miami and Tokyo and experienced glowing success under the patronage of Maestro Daniel Barenboim during its 2006 guest performance in Germany at the Hamburg Staatsoper and in 2007 and 2009 at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin. Finally, at the season opening in 2008 of the Théâtre du Châtelet, Tanguera has put the audience in Paris into a state of ecstasy.

The show runs in Vienna from December 01- 20, 2009

1. Who are you?

2. What do you like about your work?
I like to work with young and talented women from Europe and Latin America to see how they grow international, being idols for many other young girls. I like travelling around the world, visiting new countries, meeting interested people with many ideas and much energy. It is always fantastic to see, how our artists entertain the people with their skills and talent.

3. What don’t you like about what you do?
That I haven’t got enough time to do make all my ideas come through, travelling with the artists and meeting my clients personally. I hate all the greed, envy and ignorance of some people in the music business. Promoter and club owner trying to earn the “big money” in a short time, not taking care of any new talents and local scene, also greedy people, making cheap and low budget drinking parties.

Sensation’s inaugural event was held in Amsterdam back in 2000, and this multimedia spectacle now sells 40,000 tickets each year to visitors from across the globe within hours. Innovative staging techniques, lightshows and lasers, video projections and live cameras, not to mention the fact that every single reveller is dressed head-to-toe in white, all help to create an atmosphere that makes Sensation the phenomenon it is. The spectator genuinely becomes part of the strange and alluring dream world, and the only way to fully appreciate the surreal ambience of the event is to experience it first-hand – along with many thousands of others at the Wiener Stadthalle!

Nine years after the world’s leading Sensation debuted in the Amsterdam ArenA, other cities across Europe and the world have discovered the unforgettable experience that is Sensation. In 2007, the event was staged in seven European countries, from Belgium and Germany to Poland and the Czech Republic, and was held in 12 countries worldwide in 2008, including Chile and Australia, to include for the first time in 2009, along with 18 other countries – Vienna, Austria.

TOCADISCO
With “Nobody Likes The Records That I Play” the entire world took notice of Tocadisco alias Roman Böer. He surely has to be considered as one of the top electronics acts around at the moment. Learning by doing is certainly this man’s motto, and within an extremely short period of time the studio wizard taught himself how to record and produce tracks, including his highly acclaimed album ‘Solo’, which featured hits such as Better Begin, Street Girls and Morumbi. But it is the interaction with the audience and the buzz of playing live that really gets Tocadisco excited, and he plans to bring this contagious enthusiasm to Hungary.
